STREET RAILWAYS.
TWO PROPOSITIONS BEFORE THE CITY
COUNCIL.

TWO PROPOSITIONS BEFORE THE CITY
COUNCIL.
On Tuesday night two propositions con-
corning street railway in Staunton were
laid before the City Council. Gee Of them,
that from Charlottesville bidders, has al
ready been discussed in this paper and is
further discussed this morning. The other,
from the Union Passenger Railway Co. Of
Richmond. is for time to send an agent to
look at the field with view to making a
definite offer in case the company should
deem an electric line advisable here. The
council referred both propositions to the
Street Committee with instructions to
communicate with the Union Passenger
Railway Co., which was promptly done by
its chairman, Mr.. Crowle, on Wednesday:
PRESIDENTS OFFICE

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. Sd.
To the Common Council,
city Of Stanton:
GENTLEMEN-Learning that you are con-
templating the granting of franchises for the
construction Of a street railway in your city
to any reputable and reliable parties apply
for such in good faith, I write to say that
having received such franchises from the city
of Richmond, our company is now construct
ing and has nearly completed an electric line,
first class in every respect and moving along
the main thoroughfares of our city for eleven
md ho1f cd ",
its equipment not only be the best line In
America, but the largest and finest electric
line in the world.
We say this much being strangers to most
of you, in order to establish our ability to do
what by these presents we propose for your
city, should we undertake such an enterprise
with you.
We will construct and operate first-class
electric line in your city with the very best
material, with the best cars lit aoitA electricity,
and will give you road such that your city
will have occasion to be proud of-the work
to be commenced within sixty days after the
grant of the franchises, and completed within
twelve months thereafter. We put fifteen
horsepower to each car with speed, if need
ed, of twelve miles per hour surrounding
heavy grades.
If we could have time to inspect the streets
and grades of Staunton we could speak more
definitely, and if we shall be allowed the pri-
vilege of SO doing we will come at once; in
spect, and if the conditions are favorable for
street railway we will Immediately ask for
an ordinance of permit to put down
a plant. We write to know if time
would be given us for this purpose. Awaiting
your favorable reply, remain,
Your obedient servant,

President U. P. Ry. Go.

OVERLAPPING THE POLICE.
MIR. Bargamln offered resolution
requiring each and every member Of the
police force to appear before the Council
at It's next meeting and show cause why
they should not be suspended from duty
for not enforcing the various ordinances
relating to the streets, the sweeping of
them, keeping the pavements In good Or
der, sc. In offering it Mr.. Bargamin said
it looks to be almost useless for the Coun-
ell to adopt ordinances about the streets
as their enforcement is neglected to SO
great an extent.
Mr.. Tams said the police were not sub
iect to the control of the City Council, but
of the Mayor, and it would be better for
the Council to request the Mayor to see
that the police reported cases where the
ordinances were not complied with.

which adorn the small of ones back

were attached to loops set on ut the edre
